My only experience with WinMe was when I had to erase it off a fresh new laptop and put Win98 in its place so the thing would run right.

Haha, nice. It's a bummer Me was so poorly supported. On the right hardware I heard it was decent, but kinda like the new driver model launched with Vista, a lot of OEMs didn't properly spec their stuff or supply correct drivers.

A handful of Me users bought good, supported hardware and had a nice time in the OS, but I was not one of them.

TLDR: Was released, made fun of then installed XP

Parallax, 2 months ago

Yep lol. Me was very much so a stop gap release. XP was already in development, trying to merge the NT core from Win2k with the home user updates that shipped with Me. Me was only around for about a year before XP launched.

Thanks for posting this. I have been trying to remember the name of the Itanium occasionally for a while now, but have heretofore been too lazy to google it.

I just finished reading it! One grammatical thing I noticed: “system de jour” should be “system du jour”. System made of day vs. system of the day

TLDR; rich kid forks Linux, loves his grandfathers red hat 🎩, meets another guy who distributes open source software, boom.
